MIUI 11 brought the dark mode to a lot of Xiaomi and Redmi devices in the market. However, some phones running MIUI didn’t get a system-wide dark mode, so there were a lot of third-party apps that didn’t support it. But that changes with the MIUI 12 as one of the company’s engineers has confirmed that the new version will support a global system-wide dark mode.
Apart from confirming this, he also commented on the recent rumor of OPPO poaching MIUI and FlymeOS engineers for its own ColorOS development. He said that MIUI engineers are working 13 hours a day which leaves them with no time for interviews. So it will be hard for OPPO to poach MIUI engineers.
He also answered the question of why MIUI 11’s AOD screen didn’t support custom GIF loop playback animations. In this regard, he said that custom GIF animations on AOD will bring power consumption issues, which is why MIUI’s AOD doesn’t support this feature.
Now that MIUI 11 stable is rolling to most Xiaomi and Redmi devices, the company has started working on the new features for MIUI 12. Back in October, the company’s executive, Xu Jieyun, General Manager of Public Relations confirmed that Xiaomi has already started working on the new MIUI 12 OS.
